See, the chef here is from Spain. And he recently did a stint at Barceloneta. So the menu is primarily
Chinese. (Kidding—it’s Catalan.) Anyway, he and a Soya e Pomodoro operative got together and decided
that Downtown needed more Barcelona in its life. So they outfitted a hallway of a space with reclaimed
wood from around town, Edison bulbs and banquettes.

The date thing: that’s a possibility here. You can share some rioja and Catalan-style seafood rice. But
you’ll also want to keep this place in your back pocket for a low-key business lunch.
